I honestly have no clue. I usually post on forums from tapatalk and take pictures directly from there. What's the easiest way/site/app to take a pic from my phone and upload it to Neogaf?

Suggestions?

If you don't care about image compression, Imgur is pretty hassle free.
 
I use imgur, but I'm sure there are better apps out there. It doesn't parse the links as BBcode for me, for instance, so I have to manually add the

Didn't somebody post an image from their fone in a thread and somebody else managed to figure out where they lived or something just from the image data or something...?

I remember that happening in a thread once and the person who figured it out by the image got slammed. Lol

How do you use imgur on mobile? Can't figure out hi to upload anything, never mind getting the links. Could always get around their pushing the app on me, but not any more

EXIF data. Contains metadata/tags that can list a GPS co-ordinate of where the photo was taken.

*EDIT* Imgur automatically strips EXIF data upon upload, so that's another good reason to choose their service.

Do you know how compressed imgur quality is from your phone? It's still a clear picture right?


I really don't know shit about image uploading sites. Never used them. I've taken forum tools for granted.

You need to touch the little camera icon that appears T the bottom of your screen. That lets you pick photos from your camera roll. It's not a great interface.

I hate Imgur. Clicking on an image hosted on Imgur will take you to the Imgur site instead of open it in new tab so you can enlarge it. Really frustrating on Neogaf mobile. You can't pinch to zoom on Imgurs site either.

Which sucks because it's so damn easy to upload to Imgur and link to it here on mobile.
